Innovative fresh local seafood. House Smoked Fish Dip is phenomenal, a definite "must try"!! Our Conch Chowder and our Key Lime Pie are also something you should not miss. We also have a great Square Grouper Fish Sandwich, 16 oz Grilled Ribeye (Certified Angus Beef!), Salads and lots of small plates to share...Flash Fried Conch with ponzu and wasabi. We are open on Mondays from the last week in December thru April! We close every September from the Sunday AFTER Labor Day and reopen on the Thursday BEFORE Columbus Day Weekend. We will be Reopening on Thursday, October 4th! See you then!

We were surprised to see a big place full with diners. The service was very friendly and the food was...More

The place was crowded with a waiting line by 11:45. Nice ambience, friendly and attentive waitresses, and white tablecloths on the tables (though a casual atmosphere). Food was delicious: Cole slaw was good but the grouper sandwich and tartar sauce WERE TO DIE FOR!

What a great atmosphere and outstanding food! Seared tuna A+
Crab Cakes A+
Jasmine rice bowl with shrimp A+
Coconut Shrimp platter A+
Carrot Cake A+
Check-in online to avoid lines...there was still a line at 8:45pm when we left!!

Great restaurant. We went to the new one in Islamardo. Food was creative but it was very loud inside the restaurant. I suggest sitting outside. Very expensive meals. I had a salad for $20. Most meals averaged $30 . Or more
